I travel extensively for work and have tried all types of charging solutions, cables, batteries, etc. What I can say for sure is every ounce counts that goes into the bag. I keep my various cords and other kit in smaller bags for easy access and use but over the years I've steadily reduced what I carry on trips. To that end I've worked to acquire devices that use similar connectivity. With so many connected devices these days, I see new products popping up from random places but I want something built by a company I know and trust. So I put to you all, what's in your perfect travel charger? Lets see if we can give our friends at Anker some ideas to help make the best charger ever.

My thoughts:Weight: under a pound for sure, less than 8oz ideal, even less amazingCapacity: Enough to charge the newest tech devices twice to include a phone (iphone 7+, galaxy 8+, etc) and watch (iwatch, Samsung, etc) or fitbit/other connected deviceCharging: Rapid charge of connected devices (Q3, etc) and rapid recharging of the battery Ports: USB-C, Micro-USB, USB AND magnetic watch wireless connection Form factor: Small as possible is great but something along a iphone standard or galaxy 6/7 would be goodBonus: A digital display to show charge status, time til empty at current draw rate, time til full at charge rate.A bigger bonus: allow the user pick the port that gets priority charging. Use case: my watch is at 30% but my phone is at 70, I want the watch to take priority charging to achieve a full charge ahead of phone.

So lets hear it, what would everyone's dream list be for a perfect charging solution?

Ounces? I have no lack of muscle, weight isn't the problem it is about volume due to moving around a lot and particularly through airports and crowded flights.

This falls into a series of questions:

A) Do I know the location well, the hotel, meeting rooms, airport, etc or not. If I know it well then I take specific products for that location. Example is a frequent trip through a specific hotel, airport, meeting rooms, and then in that trip I take the Powerport5-USBC version as the distance between the power sockets and my devices does not exceed about 6 feet. If I do not know then I take a 12ft power extension cord and the Powerport4 and my phone's USB-C charger.

B) How long do I expect to need to power off-grid. If I know its going to be a long time off-grid then I take the Powercore 26800 which can power everything for a very long time. If I know I'm only going to have a few hours then I use the Powercore 10000.

C) How many gadgets, what are their power needs. This then steers me to Powerport2, Powerport5, or multiple devices, and the size of the Powercores I need, I have the Mini+, Slim, 10000, 26800.

So really this is about time away from wall sockets, and distances from wall sockets.
